you know the rules…
ok, this is annoying. on tuesday morning, i’d decided this contest had gone on long enough, and chose a bunch of “contenders” and a winner, and added them to the post. i added a comment that the contest was closed. all good and well.
then i noticed that adam (our ys communitymeister) had chosen that post as one of the links of the week in the youth specialties update email, and said it was an open contest. i noticed additional entries coming in, and thought – for a couple days – don’t those people see the comment that says it’s closed, and the winner announced in the post?
then, last evening, i noticed that reader “rob” left the caption saying “the reason marko hasn’t posted the finalists yet.” and i thought, uh-oh. tuesday. tuesday was the day my blog got caught in some kind of netherworld between the old server it was on and the new server, and i had entire posts get swallowed into the ether. finally i scrolled down and noticed that none of those updates i’d made were there, and you wonderfully patient people must have thought i was a total dork!
so, how ’bout some contenders?

Tower of Babel. (david taylor, jr) (ysmarko: the first time around, i’d given the award to someone who’s posted the short and witty, “street signs in babel” — but that comment seems to be gone now also, and while this “tower of babel” has the same vibe, it’s not quite as witty.)

“Make up your mind already” -or- as I participated in a bible study series on road signs when I was an intern- this would be a good one. “Don’t park- Do something.” God doesn’t want us to simply park ourselves and not work for His Glory- He wants us to move for Him!
The outcome, had Moses gotten very lost and, instead of Sinai, climbed Capitol Hill.

You know, according to when you posted this, that’s your car parked out front. If you had simply followed the rules you clearly could’ve parked by the signs. (It’s awfully light there in Alaska at 4 am.)
